17 year copywriter, now CD, who has worked in many cities including Pittsburgh, New York, Atlanta, Montreal and currently Los Angeles. I snark because I care. I ain't complainin' I'm just tellin' it like it is.

I find that this commercial is absolutely offensive - NOT FUNNY AT ALL. There are people with disabilities, some who use their feet to be able to function, and make beautiful art. Making fun of disabilities is disgusting, offensive, and I think this should be assessed by the Human Rights Commission. I need to change the channel when this commercial comes on the TV. It is just WRONG.

I couldn't agree more - this is by far the most disgusting commercial ever. Can't endorse a product like this so won't be buying it. The only one I found more offensive and insulting to my intelligence was last year's Shreddies commercial "squares vs. diamonds". Really? How stupid do you think we are? Let's show you how stupid! What if we were "stupid" enough to stop buying your products? How dumb do we look now????

I'm sorry, but in what way is this sexist? Ladies like the DJ? Ladies like the DJ is sexist now? I did not get this memo. I knew that "Ladies can't be a DJ" is sexist, but ladies liking the DJ is just, bad taste in men, usually.

What I find about the Potato Thins commercial is the degrading attitude towards people who are handicapped and have to do things with their feet and other parts of their body. Also why would you want to encourage people to use feet to handle food unless you had to do this. Disgusting ad. Thank goodness for remotes and mute buttons.

I think it's really sad that Canadians are so uptight that they can't see the humour in this commercial. It's not sexist or making fun of the handicapped. It's funny in a teenage sort of way. It's showing that these cracker chips are so good you don't want to use your hands for anything else. I'm disappointed that it's off the air because it was really memorable.

It never ceases to amaze me the passion people have about commercials that are more than year old. I mean, even if they hadn't yanked it or whatever, typical ads don't run more than a few months anyway. But you can console yourself knowing it will live forever on Adland.
